Left Mourns as Populist Veteran Geert Wilders Wins Landslide Election

"One of Europe’s leading globalists will leave office and his hoped-for replacement, a Green-Left veteran Eurocrat has been soundly defeated in the Dutch elections, triggering an

With 99 per cent of votes counted from Wednesday’s national elections in the Netherlands, Geert Wilders’ Party for Freedom (PVV) is confirmed the largest political force in the country by a considerable margin. Coalition formation will be tough — it always is after Dutch elections and the signing of agreements to permit the creation of governments has run into the hundreds of days in the past — but it will be difficult for other parties to ignore not only the result of the election, but also fresh polling showing a plurality of Dutch saying they’d rather see a right-wing coalition rather than centrist or left."

"A large group that turned out to support a Palestinian-American man convicted of taking part in a hate crime beating of a Jewish man in a Times Square protest was ejected from a Manhattan courthouse Tuesday after shouting at the judge during his sentencing.
Mahmoud Musa was among a group of men who brutally beat Joseph Borgen after spotting him in public wearing a yarmulke. They set out that morning "to attack Jewish people," according to prosecutors, and they found Borgen, who was headed to a pro-Israel rally.
